Complexity of tumors revealed in 3D WashU Medicine 2024-10-30 | A new analysis led by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has revealed detailed 3D maps of the internal structures of multiple tumor types. These cancer atlases reveal how different tumor cells — and the cells of a tumor’s surrounding environment — are organized, in 3D, and how that organization changes when a tumor spreads to other organs. The detailed findings offer scientists valuable blueprints of tumors that could lead to new approaches to therapy and spark a new era in the field of cancer biology, according to the researchers. The study is part of a group of papers published in the Nature suite of journals by members of the Human Tumor Atlas Network, a research consortium funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).Video by: Julia Evangelou Strait; Images: Erik Storrs

Multicenter clinical study supports safety of deep general anesthesia WashU Medicine 2024-06-17 | Michael S. Avidan, MBBCh, head of the Department of Anesthesiology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, led a multicenter clinical trial involving more than 1,000 older patients who underwent cardiac surgery at four hospitals in Canada. The study found that the amount of anesthesia used during surgery did not affect the risk of postoperative delirium — a state that may contribute to long-term cognitive decline. The research supports earlier findings that indicate that anesthesia is no more hazardous for the brain at higher doses than at lower doses.
